Technically, serendipitous discoveries aren’t something you can plan on making. That is unless you head to Uncommon Objects, where you might just find the exact thing you didn’t know you were looking for. Though the store won’t win any awards for organization, exploring its many nooks makes the shopping experience an adventure. One-of-a-kind curios are plentiful: secondhand custom belt buckles, vintage paper dolls, out-of-print books, cruiser bikes, outdated maps and scientific charts, Thirties gowns, Fifties hardware … and more. Don't dare call it a junk shop, though, as every item is handpicked for its uniqueness and beauty. Remember: Each thingamajig you buy here was once someone else’s beloved thingamajig.
